History

Shah & Shah Distinctive Jewelers began nearly a century ago during the Prohibition era.

Established in 1929, Shah & Shah opened the doors to its first store on 921 F Street, NW, where it became an institution for over five decades.

In 1983, spanning into its third generation, Shah & Shah was re-imagined by the founder’s grandson, Michael Shah. To best suit customer needs, Michael transitioned the business from the storefront to its current “speakeasy” style salon on Connecticut Avenue, overlooking the heart of downtown Washington, DC. Today, Colin Shah, the newest in Shah & Shah’s long line of family jewelers, has taken the helm of an 84-year legacy and the destination for Washington’s discerning clientele.

Today

Shah & Shah has evolved as a company, yet maintains a classic aesthetic with design integrity. Now in the fourth generation, Shah & Shah is committed to every step in the creative process, personally sourcing materials and featuring in-house designs. From initial sketch to final polish, each piece reflects bold moves coupled with meticulous craftsmanship.

Pursuing this tradition, Colin Shah brings his own manifesto: keeping it real in all senses – beauty with grade, carats with caliber. Simply put, Shah & Shah pieces carry physical and emotional weight – that delicate hybrid of impeccable design and quality – jewelry that should be worn and enjoyed; we want our clients to feel the same. A Shah & Shah design is meant to showcase the owner and be showcased in return. Mixed and matched. Stacked and stoned. Wear it, love it. Really love it.
